Burmese Dha – 40" Stainless Steel Sword

Elegant in form and fierce in function, the 40" Burmese Dha is a timeless weapon rooted in the martial traditions of Myanmar and Southeast Asia. Designed for precision and cutting efficiency, this long saber features a gracefully curved, single-edged blade forged from high-quality stainless steel—ideal for both collectors and martial artists seeking durability with minimal maintenance.

The minimalist hilt reflects the practical design ethos of the region, with a smooth horn or hardwood grip accented by brass spacers and a slightly flared pommel for control during fluid strikes. True to traditional dha construction, it forgoes a guard, emphasizing speed, maneuverability, and simplicity in combat.

Whether displayed as a cultural piece or wielded with intent, this Burmese Dha balances heritage craftsmanship with modern materials.

Historical Background

The dha (or dah) has been used for centuries throughout Southeast Asia, particularly in Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. It served as both a weapon of war and a daily tool, carried by warriors, farmers, and monks alike. Its curved blade and lightweight design made it highly effective in the close-quarter jungle warfare common to the region. The dha became especially iconic during the Konbaung Dynasty of Burma, where it was used in military campaigns and ceremonial contexts.

Over time, its simple, utilitarian design evolved into a symbol of regional identity and martial discipline. The long-handled versions—like this 40" model—were typically favored by infantry and sword dancers, offering extended reach and flowing motion in combat and ritual.
